Lead Engineer (Ruby on Rails) for DOWN Dating App
I am supporting DOWN Dating App on an exclusive basis with their recruitment for this role. Hold off from contacting anyone at DOWN, to ensure the proper process is followed.
Please only apply if:
- The Lead Engineer role will generally be 50% leadership and 50% coding, leading a small team of Engineers
- Remote across Europe (including UK and Ireland) 🌍
- Salary for Lead role in USD: up to $115k + bonus scheme 💸
- Working through B2B contract ideally. Open to EOR on a case by case basis
- 27 days off including 12 bank/national holidays. You get to choose when to take national/bank hols throughout the year
- Experience working for a company who has a mobile app is essential 📲
DOWN are changing the online dating game through their app that has a focus on transparency, fun, getting rid of taboos, and being your authentic self. They are bringing something really different to the table and have over 15 million users. Most of their users are in the US but they are continuing to gain momentum in other locations too 💘
DOWN are looking for:
As well as tech skills they're after people who are humble, have amazing communication skills in English, thrive in a start-up culture with a builder mentality, and take ownership of their work.
Here's some more useful info about DOWN:
- They don't rely on any external investment, so are able to go in their own direction with the product and explore ideas freely.
- DOWN have built a thriving global tech team based across Europe and Asia, with 3 backend engineers (Ruby), 1 android, 4 iOS, 2 data, 2 QA and 1 DevOps. Right now these people report to the CEO, so this is where you'll come in to free up some time for him to focus on other responsibilities.
- There are always new features in the pipeline, but there's also a good amount of refactoring to be done, and an upgrade from Rails 5 to Rails 8 in motion.
The company would like to fill the role relatively quickly, completing interviews over the next few weeks, so don't delay your application!
